What'd you learn to drive in?

Found a couple of old videos of my daughter learning to drive in the truck when she was 11 back in '09. Was curious what did you guys learn to drive in?
I learned originally in a 1978 Lincoln Versailles and a 1977 Chevy C10.
Here's my daughter driving around the yard back in the day.

My mom and dad started me off letting me sit in their lap and drive the car home once we got into the neighborhood. My girl got her start driving golf carts n lawn mowers around.
Pic of her n tractor n truck is when her and her friend were playing on the tractor and left the lights turned on and killed the battery. So When I found it dead I had her move the truck down there and showed her how to jump start it. She did it all by herself with me only coaching. I was proud of her on that one.
Then after she jumped the tractor off she wanted to know how to drive it so I had her plow that years peanut patch. And all at 12 years old.

1970 Monte Carlo SS 454 on the dirt roads in rural Michigan.
Everything since slow and boring in comparison.

1988 Ranger 5 speed. Started at the age of 8 because my legs were finally long enough to push the clutch and to long to sit in dad's lap. Worked great for him because he could ride and enjoy the miller high life in the passenger seat as i flew through the Mississippi river bottoms. Dang the memories!!

My Dad would let me shift his 1972 Pinto when I was about 10. Learned how to drive on a 1975 Granada. Little did I know I got the worst car I ever drove out of the way quickly.

My mom had a 92 Plymouth Voyager when me and my sister were kids. It lasted a few years before it started having transmission issues stopping it from shifting reliably. So it got parked. When I was 15 me and my best friend jump started it and drug it out of the backyard. We cut the exhaust off and beat the living crap out of it. It had 1st, 2nd, and reverse. I was pretty good at sliding it around the fields with the foot E-brake
good times. It eventually broke and axle shaft after getting just a little bit airborne.
On the actual roads when I got my learner permit it was my 77 C10(bought 2 years after my 16th bday). Even though I could hardly afford to drive it cause gas was so expensive. It looks nothing like it did back then in 2006 but I still drive it.
First manual on the road was my stepdads 98 Dodge Dakota V8 with a Hurst shifter and glass packs. Loud and fun to shift. Good times
